Talk about a tribute! The first of ‘The Hunger Games’ films came out a full decade ago, revealed on Mar. 23, 2012. The sci-fi/fantasy saga instantly captivated fans young and old. Based on a series of young adult novels by author Suzanne Collins, ‘The Hunger Games’ followed Katniss Everdeen as she took on the games, a televised competition in which two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of the fictional realm of Panem are chosen at random to fight to the death.

The first movie broke records when it grossed $694.4 million internationally. It spawned 3 successful sequels and another prequel, called ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’, is in development.

The series catapulted rising stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth (seen here) into superstardom while introducing old talents like Woody Harrelson to a new generation.

She took a hiatus from acting in 2019, during which time she married art director Cooke Maroney and welcomed a child in Sep. 2021. Jennifer made her grand return to film with ‘Don’t Look Up’ that same year.
